so cut out hay and grass until she starts eating enough feed?

but up to what % on the feed or what kind of feed? I offer her all the feed she'll eat but she just not cleaning her plate. I leave it and change it out everyday. She's 3 months

so I'm thinking potbelly, but giving her bloat meds eases my mind. So what take her out of the lot, cut back on hay, and ease her in to higher % feed?

I know there are a few hundred post on here about bloat but I'm having so much trouble searching them I thought this would be more effective. ( Am I the only one with this problem) Young calf and momma died. I couldn't get her to take a bottle and she seemed happy enough on feed and hay. She...

It's a little delayed, but cedar trees don't do it in my opinion. We have a ton of them in one lot and I don't notice much difference. There is even one that grows side ways that they love to rub. Garlic yeah I have some tablets that I feed to a preg. mare that really seem to help and my dog, I...

Nah I was thinking there was something she said to use to treat it when they are born other than Iodine. ??? tx beefy

Just wanted to thank you guys for all your help. I know you all like having updates so here ya go. We put her down last week, I just couldn't seem to get the infection out. Think it was a case of too little too late, but you win some you lose some. I really want to give mscamp a big THANK YOU...

I second the motion, that is one heck of a pic. Talk about getting up close and personal.

Well Roadapple if it's anything like piercings the smaller the # the bigger the gauge, that I do know. So got in touch with the vet that we use for horses (he quit working on cows 4 yrs ago..go fig.)and he gave me 12 of batril one shot and two of banamine(forgot how much) one today, one...

Okay so.... calf is still basically the same. I've been giving antibiotics for past week or so and I can't tell much difference other than they seem to make her feel worse. Just called a vet(one of three that actually take large animals (and none are taking new clients)), because you can't get...

thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind next time I feel like putting my fingers some where they don't belong. As for the nuflor, it helps with the pain? thought it was for the infection.

o holy night..... I haven't been bit that hard since I took one to the chest from a mad momma. (Horse that is) I shoved one of those pills back in there and she pushed my finger to the side with her tongue n CRUNCH. She actually cracked my nail. A syringe full of liquid has got to be easier...

I'm new to dealing with health probs so I have to use what I can. Would it be okay to give her childrens tylenol (liquid)? She's still gritting her teeth and I want to do something to make her feel better.

So I would be better off with penicillin than broadspectrum; or I've heard both and how exactly should I go about that? She's had two doses of duramycin thus far. Checked her two days ago n she had a temp of 103.2. haven't checked yet today but her eyes are starting to drain a little. Navel...

tx guys just wanted to check she's sick enough as is
